DESCRIPTION:<p>Bertrand Russell famously distinguished between &ldquo\;Knowledge by Acquaintance&rdquo\; and &ldquo\;Knowledge by Description&rdquo\; and claimed that Acquaintance plays a fundamental role in our cognitive lives. For much of the latter half of the 20th century the notion of &lsquo\;Acquaintance&rsquo\; fell into disrepute. But in recent years the idea of an Acquaintance relation has undergone a very marked revival of fortunes\, with many different theorists invoking some version of the notion in a range of different philosophical projects and with a potentially bewildering array of different senses &ndash\;&nbsp\;though of course there are still many philosophers who remain sceptical of any such idea.</p>\n<p>This conference aims to shed some light on Acquaintance\, investigating what exactly the relation is supposed to be and what philosophical work it is supposed to do.</p>
